(SS) = Supporters Shield winner; (E1) = Eastern Conference champion; (W1) = Western Conference champion
^Note 1 Teams qualify for the MLS Cup Conference Semifinals by finishing 1st, 2nd or 3rd in their respective conferences.
^Note 2 Since the LA Galaxy won both the 2011 MLS Supporters' Shield and the 2011 MLS Cup , a place in the 2012–13 CONCACAF Champions League became available. The Seattle Sounders , the 2011 MLS Supporters' Shield runner-up, had already qualified as they also won the 2011 U.S. Open Cup . Therefore, the CCL place went to Real Salt Lake , the 2011 MLS Supporters' Shield third place. Houston Dynamo , the 2011 MLS Cup runner-up, also qualified for the 2012–13 CONCACAF Champions League. All four teams directly enter the Group Stage as the Preliminary Round has been eliminated from CCL.
^Note 3 Toronto FC qualified for the 2011–12 CONCACAF Champions League as winners of the 2011 Canadian Championship .
